A question discussed in groups: Could a civil war happen? Exploring the potential for conflict and its implications. #CivilWar #SocietalIssues #CurrentEvents #Geopolitics
Ya know that ‘MARS MOD’ you use to jeep your radio so you can talk on GMRS? Well, it’s really a thing. MARS, the Military Auxiliary Radio System, turned 100 last year. It’s changed some over that time, but it’s still all ham radio operators providing public service communications in affiliation with the Army and Air Force.
The ‘Army guy’, Paul English WD8DBY, and the ‘Air Force guy’, Dave Antry WD9HBA, were at the 2025 Dayton Hamvention®, and they talked to East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ about what MARS is today.
A chilling question: ‘Are we in a civil war by 2028?’ The answer might be more immediate than you think. Some believe the conflict has already begun. #CivilWar #Politics #2028 #CurrentEvents
When the grid fails, how do you communicate? Explore ham radio’s resilience and the growing Meshtastic network. Essential for preppers and survivalists. #HamRadio #MeshNetworks #Survival #Prepping #EMP

The question echoes: ‘Will there be a civil war by 2028?’ Some argue it’s already here. Not North vs. South, but a war of insurgency, a clash of ideologies where violence erupts, and people are hurt. The battle lines are drawn. #CivilWar #Insurgency #PoliticalClash #CurrentEvents
GMRS radios sit idle, but mesh radios, even uncharged, boost network strength. A small battery pack makes them active participants, unlike Baofengs. Grow the mesh by getting more people involved. #MeshNetwork #GMRS #RadioCommunication #TechTips
